Amazing

I had two instructors before learning with an AA instructor, and honestly she’s on another level. She’s patient, calm, and explains things in a way that finally made driving click for me. I always felt relaxed during lessons and actually enjoyed learning instead of stressing out.

Thanks to her support and encouragement, I passed my test with confidence. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant instructor. Thank you again and keep up your fantastic work.

5 Stars, best driving school by far.

Before trying to learn how to drive with the AA I had tried various driving instructors who lacked professionalism and structure. I decided to take one last shot at learning how to drive and chose the AA and it was the best decision I made. My driving instructor was kind, professional and an amazing teacher - he corrected my mistakes in a polite way and always ensured to focus on what I had done well during my lesson before giving me constructive feedback. He picked up on my learning style fast and catered every lesson to that to ensure I made the best progress. Genuinely one of the best driving instructors out there.

Fantastic Instructor

As a parent (and fee payer) of a brand new driver, I appreciated the instructor for being 100% reliable with lessons, flexible, available after school and at weekends and for her clear communication about progress. Having had other instructors for my older children, this level of service should not be assumed! She showed every patience with my son, was realistic, fair and safe about his readiness, and as a result he passed first time.

AA Driving

I just passed my driving test and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of my instructor. From the very first lesson, he was patient, encouraging, and highly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made sure I was confident in every aspect of driving. I wouldn’t have been able to pass my driving test without his continuous support! I highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive! He’s a great instructor!

Amazing Driving Instructor

She is a wonderful driving instructor. Finding the right instructor hasn’t been easy for me, but learned more in that one session than I had in ten with others. She puts her whole heart into teaching, genuinely cares about her students, and pays close attention to my progress, strengths, and areas that need improvement. Her lessons are always clear, well-structured, and I’ve never once felt my time was wasted. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I loved my time with the AADS

All the instructors are absolutely amazing, I was doing my lessons for longer than a lot of others due to the DVLA waiting times but it was so much easier with an instructor that went at my pace, ecen 6 months in when there wasn’t much to learn left for the test she would find something to teach me or talk about. The AA themselves have some issues with them and the instructors but my experience was definitely one to remember.

Colin Beesley

I have to say a MASSIVE thank you to Colin! I passed my test first time and I couldn't of done it without him. He was always calm and patient with me and didn't mind at all when I repeated questions to him. Its so important to find the right instructor and I sure found this in Colin. He made me laugh, was easy to talk to and was great in the way he instructed me and gave me guidance over these last few months. I will be forever grateful to Colin for helping me pass my test and I hope to do him proud and put everything he has taught me into my new driving era. So, if youre in the Cardiff/Barry area and looking for a new instructor, then Colin is your man! Thanks for everything!

Passed first try!!!

All thanks to my driving instructor I passed first try in the span of 4 months!!! She was very polite and made me feel very comfortable. She helped me build my confidence up when I was too scared to start learning new things. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to start!

Absolutely Amazing Teacher

Thought I’d made a review months ago but didn’t seem to have gotten posted, buthe was an incredible driving tutor to learn under, after struggling to find someone I was comfortable with. Was clear and effective in honing in on my weaker points and increasing my confidence in places I needed it most. 100% recommended for any new or experienced learners looking for a positive-attitude tutor.

I am not happy with my instructor and would like to change it. Do you know a good AA instructor in South Ealing/Brentford?

I'm considering taking up a franchise as an AA driving instructor. Reading through this thread there are a multitude of similar bad experiences, primarily relating to the conduct of the instructors'

I've also noticed that on a majority of these posts the AA have replied with comments which indicates to me a desire from them to improve and listen.

My question as a prospective 'Franchisee' is this:

Would you as a parent or student choose the AA Driving School as a preferred provider based on their reputation and how much would the ratings in this thread influence your decision to use them?

There are several companies out there that offer a franchise solution; RED being another popular one. I'd be interested to get some feedback on this so I could at least feel that I would be choosing the right organisation to train with.

At this point in time I'm inclined to choose the AA purely based on its long standing reputation and that any other schools (including RED) are likely to have both good and bad instructors too.

Any tips about test centres between Cannock and Wednesbury? Which one is best place to take my test?

Has anyone had a I instructor from Lichfield or Sutton Coldfield in West Midlands? Any bad experiences?
